TESTING RESULTS IN MACHINE WORK 



THE MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT is merely 
one branch of the very full course of study which is 
offered at the Tome School. Few of the preparatory 
schools are able to give to their students work in this subject, 
although there is a genuine and widespread interest in courses 
which include manual training. It is omitted from many of 
the school curricula because of the pressure of other subjects, 
and because its proper presentation demands extensive shops 
and complete machinery. Manual training has a permanent 
place in the curricula of elementary and secondary schools, 
and the Tome School is in accord with the best and most 
advanced educational methods in offering courses in this 
subject to its students. Manual training is one of the 
most valuable means of helping boys who are gifted with 
mechanical ability to "find themselves." The stimulus 
which is received from such work often communicates itself 
to other activities, so that the success of a boy in manual 
training not infrequently brings with it improvement in all 
his scholastic work.

ATTRACTIVE PROBLEMS IN BENCH WORK 



Manual Training is especially useful to boys who expect 
to make some form of engineering their life work. It is 
recognized as an essential factor in the education of engin- 
eers, and boys who have been enrolled in Manual Training 
courses at the Tome School and have been graduated, have 
taken high rank at Cornell, Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology, Lehigh, University of Pennsylvania, Univer- 
sity of Maine and University of Wisconsin. Many others 
have gone directly into manufactures. 

The Tome School offers courses in Manual Training 
through six years of the school work. It is a required 
subject in Forms I and II and elective thereafter. Espe- 
cially strong courses are offered in Forms V and VI. 

Drawing rooms and shops are fully equipped with tools 
and machinery of the highest grade in a sufficient quantity 
to allow of special problems in elementary engineering to 
be undertaken in fifth and sixth year courses. A corps of 
trained specialists in manual training subjects is in charge 



"We must have a basis for our higher accomplishments, our delicate entertainments of 
poetry and philosophy, in the work of our hands." — Emerson

of the instruction, so that it is possible to give individual 
attention to each boy enrolled in any shop course. 

The Manual Training Department is furnished with eight 
large rooms for instruction purposes, supply- rooms, and store- 
rooms. Equipment has been provided liberally, and includes 
twenty-four adjustable work tables for elementary work, 
each fully supplied with small tools ; twenty-four maple 
work benches, each supplied with saw, planes, marking- 
gauge, square, chisel, mallet, rule, and dividers ; a tool- 
room, and a supply of tools ; twenty speed lathes ; twenty 
horse-power electric motor, cross-cut saws, band saws, emery 
tool grinders, bench trimmer, power blast and exhaust forges 
with forging tools, vises, files, cold chisels ; calipers, squares, 
etc. ; ten nine-inch engine lathes, a thirteen-inch engine lathe, 
three drill presses, two shapers, tool grinder, two milling 
machines, and a complement of small machine tools ; forty- 
eight adjustable drawing- tables, drawing-instruments, detail 
tables models, etc. 



"Today the school and the college, though not yet emancipated from the past, are slowly 
learning the importance of a knowledge of things, as well as of words."— McNeill 










TYPES OF MACHINE SHOP PROBLEMS 



MANUAL TRAINING, FREEHAND AND MECHANICAL 
DRAWING COURSES. 

Manual Training 1. Bench work in wood with hand tools, from 
drawings made by the student. Original projects. Written notes. 

Manual Training 2 and 3. Wood-turning and general speed lathe 
work, from standard designs prepared by the instructor, intended to 
develop freedom and accuracy in the use of tools ; pattern-making ; work 
from original designs by the student. Written notes. 

Manual Training 4. Chipping and filing. Exercises in metal, from 
standard designs ; making hand tools to be employed later on the drill 
press, engine lathe, and the shaper. Written notes. 

FREEHAND DRAWING. 

Manual Training 5a. Freehard drawing to correlate with shop work. 
Lettering for shop drawings, perspective drawings of type objects, still 
life groups, and pose work principles. Problems in applied design — book 
covers, mottoes, posters, etc., etc. 

Manual Training 5b. Problems in Arts and Crafts work, leather 
tooling, repousse work in copper and brass. Practice in the different 
mediums, such as, pencil, charcoal, chalks, water color, pen and ink, oil, 
etc. Landscape and nature study. 



' The education of the hand is the means of more completely and efficaciously 
educating- the brain."— Jacobson 




TYPES OF WOOD-TURNING AND PATTERN-MAKING EXERCISES 



"The boy who follows an idea to a finality and produces something, is in every sense a creator, 
and it gives him a consciousness of power which can never be effaced." — Bates 




TWO ENGINES MADE BY BOYS IN THE MACHINE SHOP
